A lovely dress I normally would have a medium size but found that was too big. The small size fits perfectly

Have this dress in both red and blue. I love it, it's the most comfortable and happy dress I have. More like it please Kettlewell, in plain colours and three quarter sleeves for Autumn, I'm sure it would be a hit!

Love my new Matilda dress. Great fit {L) and lovely color. As an Autumn, I can't always get a right red, and the fabric hangs beautifully, skimming over the unwanted bumps! It will be a star on the cruise I'm about to enjoy.

I am on holiday in France wearing one of your Melinda dresses when a woman approached me in the car park of a Leclerc supermarket to ask where I got my beautiful dress. She was a bit crestfallen when I said England but I found a piece of paper and gave her your website details! It is cool and comfortable, packs exquisitely and evidently attracts attention!

This dress is lovely to wear, very comfortable and flowing. I'm a size 10/12 and bought the small size which fits well on top and, not being a particularly fitted dress, is very comfortable across the waist and hips. Its not lined so I wear a slip with it. The blue is a very pretty colour. I would recommend this.

This dress is beautiful & I’m hoping Kettlewell will do similar dresses in the future. It hangs beautifully and does not cling. I would have bought it in different colours except there was only the one choice for Autumns. It disguises my tummy area perfectly and can easily be dressed up or down.

This has to be the dress of my dreams. Super comfortable, doesn't crease, washes like a dream. I love the way it flatters tummies by flaring out gently under the bust. I would LOVE for it to come out in another autumn colourway. I sized down in this dress from my usual L (14 ish) to the M, and it is perfect. A little bit pricey, but I will absolutely get my monies worth.

SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Brick Red Matilda

XS is quite long, low in cleavage and very roomy but then I am a 5ft petite, it still works for me though because of the lovely floaty summer design

I think this dress is gorgeous. The quality of the fabric is excellent which allows it to drape well - and it has pockets! I am coming up for 80 years old, 5 feet tall and size small and I enjoy wearing stylish clothes which boost my confidence and make me feel good and this dress does the trick. Although it is long on me (lower calf) I shall not shorten it as I think it works well, especially with trainers. Well done Kettlewell.

All three are lovely! The dress was for my daughter and she is pleased too. I was 'diagnosed' as a Summer person many years ago but a friend has advised that I'm veering to Spring which has made my colour choices much more exciting and your colour choices are just what I needed. I'd love some wide legged summer trousers but I'm at least a 33" inside leg. Can you suggest any? 🤞🤗

The perfect summer dress for me, the blue colour suits me well and as a mature lady the sleeves cover the part of my arms that I don’t like. Looking forward to the summer when I can wear it

I was excited about this dress but it makes me look very large. As a LL and gray hair I don’t need to look pregnant. The print is beautiful. Maybe next year a different style would work.

I love this dress! I'm in my seventies, short and slightly plump. It has answered my needs for a throw-on, packable, go-anywhere summer dress.

I wanted a dress I could just throw on quickly, to look instantly well dressed when unexpected visitors turn up, as I've lost the ability to walk unaided and dressing can be a problem. Love this dress. Well cut, lovely neck line with a great fabric that hangs beautifully, so hides a multiude of lumps and bumps so flattering, I've bought the red, will buy the blue next just because the fabric is so great.

Beautiful dress! I initially purchased the blue option as I am a summer. It looked lovely so I thought I might try the other colours. They all look lovely despite not being my 'season'! I am a high street 16/18 & the Large fitted well (I did order LL but this was too big.) At 5ft 2ins the dresses are almost floor length on me though.

Due to a change in my body shape I need dresses and tops that flow from the bust. This dress is just perfect for me. I love the length (I’m 5ft 5) and I can’t wait to wear it when the weather gets a little warmer. Thank you Kettlewell.

Not wanting to write too much in my previous review I left out too much and need to send an additional review. I am 5’2 and both the length of the dress as well as the soft v fit perfectly. I’ve been told to not wear organised small prints. The print on this dress is so beautiful and perfect for summer.

I love, love, love the red Matilda dress. It floats over my large tummy easily yet also fits my narrow shoulders and smallish bust. On this fabric the red brick came out very soft and suits me perfectly. It could be taken in a bit at the waist but I’m going to enjoy wearing it as is. My children are taking the entire family, 11 of us, to cruise around Galapagos at the end of the month. We’ll be celebrating my husband’s 80 th (yikes) birthday. I’ll be building my trip capsule around this fabulous pattern and colour.

I’m delighted with this dress. Bought in the blue colour way in size medium. I’m 5ft tall and the length hits above my ankle at the narrowest part of my calf. I’m a UK size 12, occasionally 14 depending on the garment. The neckline is flattering, not too deep a V wearing a 36D lightly padded bra. I’m a CMB clear Spring, a re-analysis revealed a soft, warm and light. I like the blues on me and the neutral, soft white is very flattering. The fabric is comfortable and a good weight, not too flimsy, and discreet pockets. Thank you Kettlewell for expanding your range to suit your customers with a more expansive waistline and a few lumps and bumps. I will get a lot of wear out of this and look forward to the better weather arriving.
